Testimonials

To the Honored Dr Lawton and the Honored Dr Bristol and to all the staff of the Hospital known as Phoenix Children s Hospital.

Thank you and again thank you for the care that you showed our daughter Riki, we do have not words to thank you enough.

We feel that Riki was in the greatest of hands, The care and the expertise were clear at every stage. The help and the patience and the interest made it easier upon her her and gave her encouragement for all parts of her rehabilitation and her healing. We have never seen in our lives such relationships; so dedicated and so concerned.

From Heaven may you be blessed with all the blessings and may the Almighty shower you with blessing and success in all of your work.

With great respect

Shainter Family from Israel

In honor of Harav Hachesed, one who runs after Tzedakah and Chesed brings happiness to Hashem, brings happiness to people. Harav Yehceksel Fridman Shlita and to the entire organization Ezras Cholim of Phoenix…

We do not have in our mouths words to express our thanks to you for all of the help. With concern and with attention to every detail and need to make our time easier while we were in a foreign land.

Whether through organizing such good places to stay, or through accompanying us and giving us rides from place to place, or with the food that was sent and the Shabbos meals, and similarly with all small details, even a camera etc… and everything with sweetness and with a display of good feeling as if they did nothing at all.

May Hashem provide for you and bless you with even double of what you’ve done and may you be showered from Heaven with great abundant blessing and success in all the actions of your hands and healthy body and uplifted soul and may you have the ability further for many good years to busy yourselves in the performance of kindness until the Redeemer comes speedily in our days

From the Shainter Family, Israel

In honor of our dear friend who is full of kindness, Yechezkel Friedman (Shlita), head of the organization of Ezas Cholim of Phoenix, AZ.

Peace and Blessings! Even if our mouths was filled with song like the water fills the ocean and our tongues with singing like its many waves and our lips with praise as wide as the skies, we are unable to thank and exalt the honorable man (Yechezkel) and his right hand man Billy. They stood to our right during the toughest times of our life when we came from the holy land to undergo a difficult surgery where the life of my brother in law (Rabbi Isaac Heishrik) hung in the balance. You assisted in him in matter of the body, in matters of monies and with good advice all along the way and the entire time that we spent at the Mayo Clinic.**You came to us as angles clothed as humans.

It is impossible for us to imagine what would have happened had you not been with us from the time that we got off the plane and to the time that we embarked back to the land of Israel.You cared for our housing with a generous hand, for food on Sabbaths and holidays and for all days of the week in the hospital and where we were housed. Also you made sure that we had transportation that would take us from one place to another. You acted as translators for us along the way and you’ve done everything as if you were not seeking a reward. And for all the aforementioned it is incumbent upon us to thank you from the depth of our heart and bless you that you should merit to continue with this great and holy work, to stand for and to help all would seek it. It is not possible to enumerate all that you done for us because those things are numerous. You should merit to see plenty through this holy work and that you should never be of downtrodden soul, either through the body or through finances. The Holy one should help you and all of the sick of Israel with a complete recovery and that we should never know sadness or harm and that we should merit the coming of the Messiah speedily in our days, Amen and may it be his will. Have happy and kosher Pesach.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is an honor and pleasure for me to write this letter of commendation on behalf of Mr. Friedman and his staff—all of whom are the most wonderful, caring, thoughtful, compassionate people one can find. And the meals they deliver to the elderly sick and homebound are outstandingly delicious.

Ezras Cholim provides a much needed service to the Jewish Community in the Greater Phoenix area. I live in Sun Lakes, and yet they go of their way to accommodate me whenever I call—and Mr. Friedman is kind enough to call me when he hasn’t heard from me in awhile.

I have dealt with Ezras Cholim for just a few months, and it’s been a blessing and a delight.

Whoever deals with them will heartily concur—and bless the staff as I do.

Best wishes,

Ann Baumrind

Thank you so much!

I cannot say enough about Ezras Cholim! I was extremely hesitant to call, because I did not want to be a bother to the community. However, I promised my doctor that I would get help, and so I had to follow through. I also wanted to remain anonymous, and thought who would want to help someone they don't know? But Ezras Cholim was there. From the moment I called, Yecheskel was telling me that they would be SO happy to help, and not to feel bad that I need help. By the time I called, I had been off my feet for about a month, and really needed the help as soon as possible. I called on a Thursday. The NEXT DAY Yecheskel brought the entire Shabbos for my family, along with much needed household help. I continued to receive meals for THREE weeks, and Ezras Cholim STILL brings food every Shabbos and often during the week too! This is extremely helpful, as I am starting to get back to my feet, but I am not supposed to do much heavy lifting (pots and pans with food are too heavy for me).

Yecheskel follows up with me frequently to see what our needs are. Thank G-d, I am getting back to my feet. But when I was completely in bed, Ezras Cholim sent my baby to daycare, and took care of household help twice a week! I cannot even imagine where my family would be now without Ezras Cholim. The people of Ezras Cholim are amazing. I am a complete stranger, yet they are happy to help keep our family afloat during this very difficult time. I am looking forward to the day (hopefully soon) when I will be back on my feet completely, and can cook and provide delicious meals for Ezras Cholim, as they have done for my family.

Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Ezras Cholim of Arizona and Yecheskel have been like angels from Hashem. I was introduced to them by a rabbi who is a dear friend of mine. He was concerned that I live alone here in Phoenix, I don’t have any family here, and so I don’t have much of a support system. My friend told me that Ezras Cholim might be able to help.

Yecheskel, Billy, and Moshe have been incredible. Every time I have needed their help they have been there for me! Whether it was to drive me to or from doctor appointments, or regularly bring me delicious kosher food and fresh challah. They even responded when I had an emergency and had to be rushed to the hospital.

I don’t know what our community would do without this organization!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my hakaras hatov to all who visited me, called me, sent me cards and flowers, cooked for me, drove me to doctor appointments, went grocery shopping for me and would not accept payment during my recent illness. We are all so fortunate to have these people in our Community, who know the true meaning of chesed. I’ll never forget what was done for me, and I intend to become active in Ezras Cholim, once I am completely healed, IY”H.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the chesed you showed me. May Hashem Bless each and every one of you with good health and happiness, now and in the future.

On August 7, 2015 my wife and I were involved in a serious car accident in Scottsdale. My wife was hospitalized at Honor Health, Osborn St. for 3 weeks and I was more fortunate, being released in 4 days. The Bikur Cholim led by Yecheskiel Friedman came to our rescue arranging wonderful housing for me with families in both Scottsdale and Phoenix. In addition, I was provided with comfortable personalized and timely transportation to an from the hospital almost on demand...And I can't forget the amazing home cooked Shabbos meals for both of us! The efforts of the Ezras Cholim of Phoenix made the challenging time for both of us much easier to deal with. We will always be grateful.

Sincerely, Alan Kasloff

Hashem (G-d) should give you brachas bli dai (blessings in abundance) and should shower you with all the support. The Abeshter (G-d) shall help more and more Yiden (Jews) have bli dai (in abundance)!
